Any hunters?
I hunted for many years. First in Texas, then in Virginia. Never took to stand hunting deer, or with dogs as is done in Va. Too much like target shooting. I liked to still hunt, but in some areas that's just not possible anymore. After a back injury, I switched to bird hunting with a pretty...- maxpeters

Brick and Mortar
The B&M in my town isn't a place I like to hang out at. I have been going there for years and I still can't go into the humidor without someone running up and standing in the doorway to watch me. The last time I went into the humidor the clerk broke away from the people he was talking with in...- maxpeters

Am I the Only One Who Does Not Watch Football?
What is it with balls? (and no, not testicles). In this culture of ours, everyone is so enamored with balls. They can be having riots downtown, or bldgs. collapsing down the street, but there will be those who are glued to their tv's, so they can watch the game. What does that say about us as a...- maxpeters

Falling in love
WOW Cortez! That Hawkbill is one sexy looking pipe! I do have pipes that I feel seduced me into bringing them home with me, but most were just rational decisions. Good looking pipe, feels good, must smoke well, whoosh! into the collection. But the last pipe I felt seduced by was a little...- maxpeters

What Happened To The Scoop And Press Method?
I agree with you on so many points indianafrank. As far as filling my pipe, I very seldom think about what method is best. I just fill the bowl by whatever means gets it full best, make sure it's not over packed by testing the draw, leave it a little spongy on top, and light. Works every time...- maxpeters

Is There a Chemical Explanation of "Full" and "Round" taste?
I think Full would describe a full flavored tobacco. As for Round, I would think it would mean well rounded, as in a well blended tobacco, without any sharp tasting or dull tasting lulls. Who knows. Just an opinion. At least most tobacco on the shelves these days has some description of what is...- maxpeters

Oh How The Times Have Changed!!!
I know. We aren't supposed to talk about certain things, but why this can't be discussed, I don't know. The OP asked a question, so I will answer him based on my experience and thinking. The term Gay was chosen by the homosexual community in the mid 80's to describe themselves, hoping that the...- maxpeters

Metal Fans?
Jeeez! Read the title and I thought the OP was referring to metal bladed fans as opposed to those with plastic blades. Was wondering what those had to do with pipe smoking. OK. Guess I'm in the wrong crowd here. Have a nice day guys.- maxpeters

I have become over protective with my pipes!
I quit leaving anything I value out in the open years ago. Too damn many B&E's going on. And yes they will take your pipes. Anything that they think you value, they think must have value, so it's whoop! into the pillowcase. I used to have some guns that I liked to keep in a gun case, just to...- maxpeters

A Mountain Laurel Pipe Opportunity
I have one of Perry's pipes in Mountain Laurel. It was purchased by an old neighbor of mine in the early 90's at an arts and crafts fair, and given to me since she knew I was a pipe smoker. I had to pay her back the $35.00 it cost her though. lol. I still smoke it occasionally and it has been a... -
Show Off Your Castello Pipes Here!
I may be wrong, but Rick Newcomb's book "In Search Of Pipe Dreams" came out in 2006 I believe. In it he exstolled the virtues of a more open draw. Maybe Castello thought it a good idea to incorporate this in their future pipes? I always thought they were fine before. I have only purchased one...- maxpeters

Show Off Your Ferndown (or Les Woods) Pipes
This Ferndown was my first "expensive" pipe. I think I paid $270.00 for it in the early 90's. It has always been a wonderful smoker. It usually stays in my safe, but I think I'll keep it out for a while now and enjoy it again. Glad this thread came up. Ferndown One Star Bark- maxpeters
